Phase 1: Project Initiation & Scoping
Project Management Alignment: Scope Management, Time Management, and Risk Control.
1. The Performance Consultant
Act as a Senior Performance Consultant. A business stakeholder has requested a "training course" to solve the following problem: [insert problem].
Before designing a solution, I must diagnose the actual performance issue. Generate a structured diagnostic interview guide with 7 high-impact questions for the stakeholder. Design these questions to help the stakeholder critically evaluate their own assumptions and uncover if the root cause is actually a capability gap, a flawed process, an environment/tooling issue, or a motivation/incentive problem.

Act as an Instructional Design Expert. I have a 30-minute interview scheduled with a highly technical, time-poor Subject Matter Expert (SME) regarding [insert topic].
Provide a structured interview guide. Give me 5 targeted questions that will cut through the technical jargon and extract the actual "need to know" behaviours, common pitfalls, and real-world scenarios I need to build the training. Include tips on how to respectfully keep the SME on track if they go off-topic.
